The Writers’ League of Texas Presents One Page Salon with Owen Egerton and guests
When: April 12, 7:30
Where: The Wild Detectives
Sponsored by Writers League of Texas and WordSpace

One of Austin’s most beloved reading series – One Page Salon – is heading to Dallas for a special evening of quick readings, slow drinking, and lots of literary shenanigans. 

One Page Salon (called “the best literary evening in town” by the Austin American-Statesman) is the brainchild of novelist, screenwriter, and comedian Owen Egerton. During the course of the evening, five writers will read a single page from a work in progress (goodbye, literary readings that go on and on and on) and answer three questions from the host (hello, witty banter with Owen). Midway through, there’s a break for eating (tacos!), drinking (coffee, beer, Topo, oh my!), and talking (this. is. the. best. part.).

This special presentation of One Page Salon is brought to you by Owen Egerton and the Writers’ League of Texas as part of WordSpace Dallas Lit Hop.

The current line-up of readers includes: Sanderia Faye, Sarah Hepola, Jeramey Kraatz, Alex Lemon, and Samantha Mabry. Come for the tacos and beer, stay for the sneak peek at some terrific writings-in-progress.

Ranked 2nd in the world (Individual World Poetry Slam 2017), you can see him perform in “Love Beats Rhymes” (Lionsgate 2017), or watch him break down bigoted arguments in his online videos.
